Hi Deborah! I hope to be able to get your books soon. Do they come in a digital copy?

And Happy Belated Birthday!

Happy Birthday!! :D

Happy Birthday!

Hi Deborah, do you know much about parrot mouth? We have one kid with a severe overbite. He's nursing fine, but I'm wondering about his ability to eat after weaning.

Hi Deborah - our kids are all due in April. Each of our does came in heat one week apart so that will be an interesting month. We were lucky - every Saturday in November we visisted a differant local farm where we had lined up a stud so they all will have differant sires. It just so happens that all of the sires were white (what are those odds) so all of the colors may be a surprise.

Thanx for having me.  I'm looking forward to reading and learning lots!! :-)

Sorry Deborah, haven't been checking my email lately. Just found the email about the book quote. Of course, I would't mind dear. In fact, I am very honored. Just remember, I am no grammar whiz, just a redneck, so make sure it's all RIGHT ok! Any time!

Hi Debbie....I hope you remember me. I had asked for advice for my 3 ND does that I had purchased. You gave me some GREAT advice.

One of my does, Cinnamon gave birth to triplet bucklings on Dec. 9th. That was my first experience and for Cinnamon also.

I hope I can download a picture for you.

The "boys" are so healthy and Cinnamon came through it wonderfully.

Thank you again,

Adele Rodgers

I can't seem to download a picture for you...I'll try later

Hi Deborah,

I have been getting endless amount of emails from this forum, everytime someone posts I get an email. I enjoy seeing who is posting and all but it is just blowing up my email, how do I get this to stop? 

Thanks, 

Nick

Deborah, just wanted to let you know that I have contacted a few breeders about the possibility of a buckling purchase. I am waiting to see what hits the ground in January and I will go from there and see if there's anything that will work for me. So let me know what you get if they are not spoken for already. Thanks, Amy

Thanks Deb.  We have even looked into a small commercial type of meat grinder, but oh they are so pricey and can't justify using one for the amount of meat we may want to grind.  So glad to hear you are happy with the KitchenAid attachment.  I think I know what I might ask for at Christmas time. :)

Deb, was reading your blog about your turkeys.  Noticed in the picture you have KitchenAid meat grinder attachment.  How do you like it?  We have been pondering a meat grinder for sometime now.  We have a KitchenAid also.  Any pros or cons to using this attachment?

now that is a pretty goat  :-0)

Ok, I've posted a picture of him. Thanks for your help!

Deborah, I am asking you this specifically because I know you use the Burdizzo method to wether. I bought the Side Crusher from Premier 1 and used it on my 7-week-old buckling.He is now 12 weeks old and I am wondering if it worked (there is a slight gap on one end of it, about 1/5 centimeter wide, but no gap on the other end). He no
longer smells or acts bucky, but it stills feels like the cords are intact. I doesn't look like his testicles have grown with him, but I could be wrong. He is due to move to his new home in 2-3 weeks, thus my concern. I want to make sure he is a wether before he leaves. Should I redo just in case or does it typically feel like the cords are still connected even five weeks later?

Thank you for all the great information, and friendly advice!
